Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

Structured fields are self-contained independent units of information within a data stream. At times, however, the data content of two or more structured fields may cause the structured fields to be interdependent. In such cases, the order dependency of the structured fields must be indicated to prevent improper structuring of a data stream by applications that may not be able to process the structured field's data content.

Designating Structured Field Sequences

Structured
fields are self-contained independent units of
information within a data stream. At
times, however, the data
content of two or more structured fields may cause the structured
fields to be interdependent. In such
cases, the order dependency of
the structured fields must be indicated to prevent improper
structuring of a data stream by applications that may not be able to
process the structured field's data content.

To solve this
problem a Flag parameter with a Segmentation
Indicator is provided in each structured field introducer. When the
Segmentation Indicator is off, an application may insert at the next
structured field boundary any other structured field that may validly
be inserted into the data stream at that boundary. The architecture
defines the valid structured fields based on a state concept, such as
document, page, or object state, and not on the status of the content
of a structured field. When the
Segmentation Indicator is on, the
data content of the structured field is continued in the next
structured field and no structured field should be inserted at the
next structured field boundary. Unless
the data dependency of the
two adjoining structured fields is eliminated by restructuring the
data, no structured field may be inserted between the two adjoining
structured fields. To do so, would
render the data stream incapable
of being parsed.
